When I was growing up in Yorkville on 85th Street, we always knew that there were boundaries. Not the boundaries written about in the newspapers, but the boundaries that were told to you by living on the streets of Yorkville and where you could go. These boundaries were real. As a young teenager, I never went past 87th Street, which was the street where I went to grammar school at St. Joseph's School.
When I graduated to high school, I was a freshman in Cardinal Hayes High School on 91st Street. My world was beginning to open up but I never did make it up to 96th Street. When Ace Kilcullen died and they had his funeral in the upper end of Yorkville, the youth gang called the Dragons would try to cross 96th Street. It never happened.
